Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe)

We use Scribe to transfer data between multiple systems. From our account/contract system to our CRM system, as well as from our CRM system to another database.

Scribe plays a major role in making sure we have data integrity across multiple systems. It allows to avoid manual updates of data between system, which is crucial when we have limited staff. This allows staff to focus on other job duties.

Pros

  • The creation of integration maps is straightforward.
  • The ability to schedule when solutions are run is of great value because we need to have systems updated in a particular order. Scheduling makes this easy.
  • When errors do occur, the error messages give enough information to allow us to diagnose how we need to fix records as necessary.

Cons

  • The system could be a little faster when navigating within maps. Sometimes there are delays while the page loads.
  • There could be more examples of how to use Scribe in the documentation.
  • I would suggest that Scribe provide suggestions when sending error messages eg Have you tried to refresh the metadata? This would save contacting support for some people.
  • Scribe has allowed us to focus on other duties instead of copying data between systems, which allows us to use our employees more efficiently.
  • The simplicity of using Scribe allows us to be more responsive when changes are required, saving us time and money.
  • The documentation allows us to get what we need to know quickly, which saves us time.
I haven't used any other integration solutions, but I can't imagine those solutions being more efficient or easier to use than Scribe. My understanding is that our company chose Scribe because it was the best solution in terms of cost, functionality and ease of use. I would recommend Scribe to other people if asked.
  • Self-taught
Being self-taught allowed me to focus on my particular needs when using the product. The documentation is straightforward and usually easy to understand. However, there may be cases where I did things incorrectly before learning a better way due to my lack of experience when first using Scribe to transfer data between systems.

Learnings and Advice

Always make sure you know what data you are transferring between systems. Compare everything for compatibility. DO NOT RUSH. It's better to take extra time making sure your configurations and integrations are compatible and functional. Surprises will probably happen, but you can minimize the impact by doing a lot of heavy lifting with your data up front.
